Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu's expression changed slightly, and she didn't believe what she just heard.

If Concubine Xi is the mother-in-law of the third prince, then why do you want to deliberately harm him?

A legitimate eldest son is enough to guarantee her a lifetime of prosperity and wealth in the harem.

"Are you sure these fragrant pills were sent by Concubine Xi?" Jiang Lianzhu looked sideways at the maid who had just spoken to her and asked again.

The maid nodded with absolute certainty: "Everything used by the Third Prince will pass through His Majesty's hands. However, these fragrant pills were sent by Concubine Xi, and His Majesty never asked for inspection."

She remembered this clearly.

When Concubine Xi sent someone to deliver the fragrant pills, she happened to be working in the dormitory, and she watched the people sent by Concubine Xi put the fragrant pills into the incense burner and light them.

"so."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded, already knowing in her heart.

"But what's wrong with this fragrant pill?" The maid had already noticed something and asked.

"Just pretend that I have never asked you. Some things still have to stay in your stomach."

Jiang Lianzhu spoke quietly and did not talk much to the maid.

Jiang Lianzhu called Doctor Li out and took him to the wing next door.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu's anxiety, Doctor Li thought something big had happened again, so he immediately asked, "Miss Jiang, did you find something wrong here again?"

"That's not true. I just heard from a maid that the fragrant pills were brought by Concubine Xi."

Jiang Lianzhu lowered her voice.

Doctor Li's eyes widened immediately after hearing this. He couldn't believe that what Jiang Lianzhu just said was true.

Concubine Xi.

She had always held the Third Prince in her hands, and felt extremely distressed if he bumped into him even a little bit. How could such a person push her child into the fire pit?

There must be a misunderstanding.

"Miss Jiang, I guess there must be some connection between this. Concubine Xi would never do such a thing." Dr. Li directly rejected Jiang Lianzhu's idea and recounted with her the things that happened in the palace in the past.

Just because the third prince accidentally fell, Concubine Xi almost peeled off the skin of the accompanying maid.

She wished she could stay by the third prince's side every day. If it weren't for her body and bones being a little tired these days, she would be bedridden in her dormitory.

After listening to Dr. Li's words, Jiang Lianzhu became more and more aware that this matter must have been framed.

But the question lies in which person had such a vicious heart and figured out how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Seeing that Jiang Lianzhu was thoughtful, Doctor Li immediately said, "If Miss Jiang wants to find out the origin of this fragrant pill, it's best to go to Concubine Xi and ask."

"I understand, but I have to ask Dr. Li to help introduce him."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Doctor Li said it very politely and took Jiang Lianzhu directly outside the palace of Concubine Xi.

He had a personal relationship with Concubine Xi, and the maids outside the palace did not dare to stop the two of them from entering, so they consciously gave way.

"Who?"

Concubine Xi lay on the bed, listening to the sounds coming from outside, and opened her eyes tiredly.

"Madam, it's Dr. Li who's here to visit. Behind him is a girl he's never seen before. I don't know where she came from." The maid waiting beside her said immediately.

Concubine Xi nodded feebly and asked the maid to bring the two of them to her.

"I heard that my Majesty has been ill recently, so I brought a miracle doctor here to treat her. Those of you who are waiting around should go down first."

Doctor Li said, and he drove out those who were waiting beside him.

After hearing his words, the maids remained unmoved. They all looked at Concubine Xi lying on the cave. After seeing that she did not say anything against, they left one by one.

"Now that everyone has left, Dr. Li can just say whatever he wants to me, and there is no need to use a miracle doctor as a cover."

Concubine Xi sat up from the collapse with some difficulty and looked up at the two people standing in front of her.

A girl who looked like she was just over [-] years old was called a miracle doctor by Dr. Li. This lie was too easy for others to expose.

"I asked Imperial Physician Li to bring me here this time. Mainly because I have something I want to ask Concubine Xi."

Jiang Lianzhu suddenly spoke.

"I heard that the fragrant pills used in the third prince's bedroom were sent by your people. Is this true?"

"Of course." Concubine Xi responded slowly, "I spent a lot of effort to get that fragrant pill. It is said to have the ability to soothe the mind and help people sleep, and can also protect people from illness and disaster."

She also saw that the group of people in Taiyuan Hospital were not useful, so she came up with the idea of ​​using incense to heal.

It's just that there are no famous perfumers in the capital, so she tried her best to ask her subordinates to inquire about it, and found out that there was a box of fragrant pills in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which were sent as tribute from the Western Regions. , specially formulated to calm people's nerves and help them sleep.

It took a lot of effort for her to get the box of fragrant pills, and then they all were sent to the third prince's bedroom.

"Concubine Na Xi must have done something bad with good intentions. There is an ingredient in that fragrant pill that collides with one of the tonics that the Third Prince takes daily. Taking it for a short period of time does not cause any serious harm, but it will cause problems over time. It makes people uncomfortable.”

"what?"

Concubine Xi suddenly raised her voice, unable to believe what she just heard.

Although she didn't know a bit of Qihuang's technique, the third prince had been infected with the disease for so long after all, so she was more or less exposed to it.

Now listening to Jiang Lianzhu's words, I naturally know how harmful the conflict between the two drugs is.

"My Lady, don't be anxious for now. Since I can find out the cause of the third prince's illness, I am sure that I can cure him."

Jiang Lianzhu comforted.

Concubine Xi had just recovered from the shock. When she heard what Jiang Lianzhu said, she didn't understand it for a moment, but then she realized it later.

Could it be that she was a miracle doctor recruited by the emperor?

"I just forgot to ask, who is the girl?" Concubine Xi calmed down for a moment, and then asked, "Could the girl be..."

"This Miss Jiang is my old friend. Her medical skills are much higher than those of us old men. Now that she is willing to help, the Third Prince will be fine."

Doctor Li interrupted Concubine Xi's words and briefly explained Jiang Lianzhu's identity.

"We are also worried this time whether someone may have deliberately placed the scented pills, but now that we think about it, this possibility is unlikely."
